Adverse Possession allows an individual who has been using the real property for a certain amount of time and in a specific way to bring an action to claim title to said property.

The individual bringing the action must prove the following:

1)                  That the use was hostile (without permission);

2)                  That the use was actual (physical and not just theoretical);

3)                  That the use was exclusive (without sharing with anyone else);

4)                  That the use was open and notorious (using the property as the real owner would and not in secret); and

5)                  That the use continued for a specific amount of time.

We can represent either the individual bringing the lawsuit for adverse Possession or the true owner defending the lawsuit.

We require an initial retainer to get started and handle the case on an hourly rate basis. Please Contact Us for additional information.
